Fun Fact: If you visit Texas, there's a good chance you'll see a French flag. It's not uncommon to see a lineup of all six that have flown over the state: Spain, France, Mexico, Republic of Texas, Confederate States of America and the United States.

Good point, and just to mention another fun fact... The Texas State Flag is the only 'State Flag' that's allowed to be 'flown' at the same height as the American Flag. All other State Flags must be displayed below the American Flag. In a nutshell, it was part of the annexation agreement in 1845 when The Republic of Texas (Tayshas/Tejas) joined the Union as the 28th State. Regardless, the fact that u display the flag is humbling, so thank you. And as far as backwards, I think it's so that the Star is displayed with the point on Top. P. S. Thanks for the Statue Of Liberty!!!

Pedal steel guitar George is great. Thanks for all the great music George.

Great reaction! This is what we call "Texas Swing" music. It's wonderful for "boot-scootin'". Don't worry about the flag - we know you're not being disrespectful.

While you are on George's , many would vote for George Jones "He Stopped Loving Her Today" which shows up near the top on most greatest country song polls

George Strait "The Chair" is a must listen.

Good call, Dalton, "The Chair".

Great reaction! That was a steel guitar. It first became popular in Hawaiian music in the 40’s and 50’s. Country music adopted it. Many people hate the twang that it can produce when played with a metal slide. It also has a foot pedal that can stretch the strings like the whammy bar on a regular guitar. A steel guitar is used in some Pink Floyd songs but it is picked instead of using a slide. By the way a violin used in country music is often called a fiddle.

Come to Texas you will love and yes George is a Lifelong Texan!!

thanks for reacting to the King of country George Strait. he is one of our favorite son's here in Texas and unlike so many other country singers he is a real cowboy who competed in steer roping at rodeos. by the way i love the flag. so from Texas you have a fantastic day and take care. added note take a look at a movie he stared in called PURE COUNTRY i think you would like it

Hello from Oklahoma. George Strait has been married to the same woman forever, plus he is a real Cowboy. Love your honest, and sincere reactions. Keep safe.

Mary, You need to wear that exact outfit out to a Texas joint and spend the evening dancing, drinking beer, and digging live music. You will be a changed woman and lay every cowboy in Texas low with that smile and French accent. Keep being you. You're precious.

Sorry, "Marie".

He's done a lot for us here in San Antonio and Texas in general. Every time he holds a concert here traffic is tied up for miles around. My sister met him back in the late eighties. You want to unite Texans you play George Strait.

George Straight is referred to as the King of Country for the simple fact he has 50. 5-0, Number One Singles. Basically if he recorded it, it was a number one song. No other modern artist can claim that in any genre. As a request, I'll ask if you could on November 8th, play the song 8th of November by Big & Rich. It is a true story . Even if you can't do so on the 8th I promise you will enjoy it

George ropes at a ranch a couple miles from our place. He’s a really nice guy.

King George strait is everything good about country music.he was raised on a ranch served in the army makes good music and he with his son have a rodeo events in Texas every year that thing is a steel guitar. I'm from wisconsin

Not many people know that George's band "The Ace in The Hole Band" has been with George since he started singing back in 1979.

60 number 1 songs, any will do. I love Troubadour.

I like how excited she got about the cowboy hats....He stopped loving her today

Glad you discovered “King George” as we call him here in Texas! THANK YOU for displaying the TEXAS flag!!

George Straight actually is in a movie called "Pure Country." It is a love story and he sings in it. "I cross my heart" is one of the songs. The movie was made in 1992. Here is a link to the song from the movie : kzread.info/dash/bejne/dGyVmM-pfbnOh7Q.html

George has one wife. Been married to her forever. He truly is the King of Country music. Has more than 60 #1 records to his credit. I'm an eighth generation Texan. Had ancestors here in Texas before it even became a state. I'd like to apologize to you for any rudeness that came your way over our flag. We are very proud of our state and heritage. We also pride ourselves in having manners and being friendly people. I hope you can forgive whoever made that comment. I don't like seeing our flag hung wrong either, but my goodness, there's ways to communicate something without being offensive. Thank you for reacting to George. He's a true Texas gentleman. ❤🤠

In country music a violin is called a fiddle. It’s the same instrument but played in a different style.

I love how she is mesmerized by the steel guitar and fiddle playing. She probably thought that was a violin. Sorta.

A steel guitar is also known as a slide guitar, because the player can "slide" up or down to the next note. I live in Reno, Nevada Marie, so put me on your map!

"dearly" just means "a lot" or "very much". You could say "I would dearly love to have a swimming pool" or "I dearly loved my grandmother". Just anyone or thing you really want or like.

Your expressions and reactions are priceless

George strait has a ton of great songs. I got a car Amarillo by morning Where the sidewalk ends The chair I can still make Cheyenne I cross my heart

Steel guitar or Dobro is used in Blugrass, Country and Tejano . Also called Hawiian guitar.

I love the expression on your face while watching , the excitement and intrigue when the steel guitar came on the screen

I live in San Antonio, Texas. It is the current home of George Strait. I have played golf against him in a scramble.

Oh you definitely need to come visit Texas. Yes maam!!!

Yes "Amarillo by Morning” is my favorite G.S. song and the song that seemed to really launch his career. However I think she would have a hard time understanding it. Many Americans do not understand it unless they are familiar with the life style of a rodeo bull rider.

A couple of comments.......first, get a cowboy to show you how to wear a hat. Second, listen to Leon McAuliffe, the greatest pedal steel guitar player ever. Barbara Mandrel is also good. I recall sitting in the chairs at Cain's Ballroom when Leon (as part of Bob Wills Texas Playboys) was told by Bob to " Take it away Leon". With Tommy Duncan's vocals. Awesome memories.

Nothing better than King George. Waco Texas thanks you!

Our state is awesome. 😍😘

George has been married to his wife Norma for 49 years. Listen to his song Amarillo By Morning. One of my favorites.

FrenchFryyyyy!i!i! Wonderful to see your lovely face and hear your beautiful voice again! California sends love!

You absolutely need to listen to "Love Without End, Amen" by George Straight. Have a great day from South Dakota

God love your heart, Marie, you have nothing to apologize for. Love, from Kentucky!

Roseanna down in TEXARKANA - a small city on the north east border of Arkansas in which part of the city is in Texas and the other part is in Arkansas, sweet Eileen in ABILENE - a small city in central Texas, Allison in GALVESTON - a city south of Houston located on a barrier island on the Gulf of Mexico (Glen Campbell sang a song about Galveston titled "Galveston" that you should check out), Dimples who now lives in TEMPLE - a small city between Waco and Austin, FRIO RIVER - a river in Texas people like to go down on floatation devices (float the river) it is naturally cold where it gets it's name!

When flying the Texas flag, the red is on the bottom, and the white is on top. I always think of the white as representing clouds, and the red as representing the red dirt found in parts of Texas. White clouds would be above red ground, so the flag flies with white on top of red.

Easy way to remember

That instrument about which you were curious, is called a Steel Guitar. So called because the device held in the musician’s hand is called a Steel ( as it is made from steel ). This device is slid up and down the strings to change notes. There are single neck, double neck, and triple neck steel guitars.

Like a lot of people are say here it’s a Steel Guitar, also referred to as a lap steel, it came from Hawaii and is played using a metal bar or glass bottle. The guitar has to be played in the horizontal position or rested of you lap to be played.

Hi Marie. Thank you for reacting to a George Straight song. He has been one of my favorite country singers for years now. As to the song, it has nothing to do with his personal life. He has been married to his wife for almost 50 years. The instrument you didn't recognize is called a "Steel Guitar". It is called that because you use a steel bar to play it. Originallly from Hawaii in the late 1800's, and a short time later adopted by country music musicians in the US. Hope you are doing well. John.

As to the "I'd dearly" lyric..the first part is a contraction which stands for "I would" so in total it is "I would dearly". Hope that helps. In addition to the cowboy hat, and hair braids we know you're smart, bold, and personable. Thus you'd make a great Texan! Great reaction!

Hello from Tennessee!!! (Just like George says....LOL!!) Thank you for sharing more country!! Enjoy your reactions more and more!! You truly enjoy them as well!!

Thank you for fixing your Texas flag!👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 Subscribed.

Hey Marie. You won't here it many places actually, but George Strait is either 'the' or 'almost the' most awarded country music singer there is. He's been singing a LONG, LONG time. Just tons of great songs. My favorite of his is "Amarillo by morning". You should give it a listen even if you don't record a video.

Some hit songs. The Chair, I Cross My Heart, Heartland. Country singers Garth Brooks and Reba McEntire are fans of George Strait. Enkh Erdene sung a great version of Amarillo by Morning. See The World's Best. His singing surprised country singer Faith Hill!

I think that was a good choice for a George Strait song considering the Texas flag love your reaction to the steel guitar made me smile love from Illinois USA

So much fun watching your reactions. Thank you from Florida.

George is the King

I have been watching you for awhile now and think you're doing fantastic!!!! So, on the map of the USA, I live in the state of Idaho. One of the last free west coast states. The home of Ernest Hemingway.

Epic song..a country classic

Marie, King George really sounds great inside a Huge ol' TEXAS dance hall, as we're dancing a two step around that hardwood floor. Just wear your boots, and your cowboy hat - those are necessary. Anything else you wear, jeans or a dress, is optional !! You'll have a ball, (ask what that means)!

I'm from Nashville originally, but have lived in Colorado for the last 22 yrs.

Your reactions(no matter the song) are very enjoyable! Keep em' coming!

He was the most hits of anyone. Good review.

I was lucky to see him perform live in concert years ago. He has now retired from touring. He was a great example of the traditional style of modern country music.

The instrument that you are asking about is a steel guitar. It's played by plucking the strings and moving a steel bar instead of playing notes with the fingers. There are a few different designs including ones with more than one set of strings or ones with pedals that are either at floor level or hanging from the underside of the body of the instrument that are played with the knees or upper legs. The pedals change the tone of the strings by tightening them.

It can be difficult for a person learning English to understand some country singers, especially if they are from the southern states. This is because southerners sometimes drop the last sound in a word or even pronounce it differently from the rest of the country. I can say this because I'm from deep south Alabama and we have some really pronounced southern accents down here! 🤗

Great song! That instrument is a steel guitar. It's an Hawaiian instrument that has become an integral part of Country music.

Just enjoying your reaction videos! It's fun to see how music is discovered for the first time.

That instrument is a Steen Guitar, it was the classic instrument in old style country that gave music that “twang”. Love your video can you please check out King George Strait song “Carrying Your Love with me”

I know you love "love" songs. You should try I Get Carried Away, I'll Always Be The Man In Love With You, I Cross My Heart. He has over 50 number one hits. That instrument was a Steel or Slide Guitar

I'd is a grammar contraction,combining two words." I would" hence I would dearly Also that's = "that is" I'll = I will George is the King of Country Western & king of smooth. Listen to THE CHAR & YOU LOOK SO GOOD IN LOVE

You'll be there is a great one. Probably make you cry.

You were wondering what instrument that guy was playing, it is a Steel Guitar or also called Hawaiian Guitar. You can see it played better on a Video: "The Ventures - Sleepwalk" where Jeff Beck is playing one. also an old song: "Forever - Pete Drake and his talking Guitar". A better view of the instrument is on: "Stranger on the Shore Steel Guitar".

Good morning, Marie from Ohio. Great reaction as always. Your hat looks good on you.

I cross my heart is his best song. You should give it a listen.

As always you did a great job, King George is a great singer, he has over 50 number one hits in the United States during his career, he is from Texas and his family comes first, and I believe he has been married to the same woman his whole adult life. Thank you for doing the video, you are the best.

Hi Marie. I just want to say, that I absolutely love your channel. Your curiosity, and youthful wonder, is adorable and heartfelt. Stay strong and safe.

You are an original. You give all your attention to your reactions, I just love it.

If you want to see a big range of sounds from George, you have this, then listen to Run, Check Yes or No, the Chair, Desperately, Blue Clear Sky, Amarillo by Morning, Troubadour etc lol with over 50 number ones take your pick but I bet you'll love Run.

Hi Marie, greetings from Bermuda. That instrument you were wondering about is called a "Pedal Steel Guitar" there are two variations in tunings of the instrument, it's mechanical in changing the pitch of each string, to make different chords, by floor pedals and knee levers... Fun instrument to play. Thanks for the George Strait review!! Regards , Karl from Bermuda.

Some great Country songs I grew up listening to because of my mom Dwight Yokam Suspicious Minds (Elvis sang this before him but I like the Country version) Dwight Yokam 1000 Miles Dwight Yokam Turn it up turn me loose

Welcome to some of the most soulful music ever made. Bless that man, he opened up the floodgates for so many artists, even in other genres.

Why would anyone worry about how a flag is hanging is beyond me they just should be happy that you have their states flag on your wall. Some people are just plain rude to you for being from another country which is crazy. Hun you do your best and most of us really appreciate it.

You're talking about a steel guitar. It has raised strings and is played with a metal bar that slides on top of the strings. If it had pedals below it it is called a pedal steel. In country music the solos will often be played on the pedal steel. These instruments all are descendants of Hawaiian guitar. It was very popular over a hundred years ago in America.

Love without end , amen and carrying you love with me are great too. George is amazing. He was also the star in the movie pure country and has some fun songs there as well.

He has more number 1 songs (60) than any other musician. Amarillo by morning is my favorite. Again watching your reaction in your eyes is adorable Thank you dear Marie!

He was great in the movie "Pure Country". Another great country star is Charlie Pride.

You should listen to "the chair" by him.... And I have to say watching your face while you watched this is heartwarming, So Cute....!!

Greetings from Texas - love your hat and braided hair - looks good enough to make Willie Nelson jealous.

OH HELL YES Yep, that's fiddle and steel guitar. Consider me your Texas Jedi. I know all the good country music.

You might enjoy listening to Ricky Scaggs playing Country Boy. Lots of different instruments used in Country music.

George Strait is the King of country music and he has an extensive catalogue of songs. I think he even used to compete in Rodeo in team roping I recomend "The Chair" "You Look So Good in Love" and Amarillo by Morning or Baby Blue
